Quick Format vs Full Format
I am giving Fedora (Ext4) the boot from my 150G VelociRaptor and replacing it with Windows 7. What is the difference between a 'Quick' format and a 'Full' format. Does a quick format simply rewrite the FAT and a full format write 0's to the sectors?
The reason I ask, is that I am concerned that the Linux Ext4 formatting may leave artifacts which I can do without. So, bite the bullet and go the long route, have lunch and a nap or take the quick way out?
